What is a WERD File Type?

Werd is a type of malware used by cybercriminals that takes a user hostage and forces him to pay the author to unlock his files. It is usually introduced into the victim's computer by means of spam and malicious attachments that are downloaded and executed by unsuspecting users. These may be .DOCX, .RAR, .ZIP or .JS files that look innocent but actually contain the Werd virus. This method of disguised infiltration is known as the attack of the Trojan horse.

When the ransom executes on the server, a user scrambles and encrypts the files on the machine, and renames them with an extension. It usually consists of documents, images, videos and backup files, such as .PDF, .PNG, .AVI and .DB files. For example, a video.mp4 becomes video.mp4.werd.

The virus generates a .TXT (_ readme.txt) ransom note in each folder that contains encrypted WERD files. The ransom request contains text that informs the user of the takeover and what to do to retrieve his files. The note also typically provides an e@-@mail address to contact and the amount of ransom that must be paid (usually $980 in bitcoin) to acquire the e' decryption tool.

There are several options to remove the Werd virus, such as the Malwarebytes Premium software, but there is no program available to effectively restore infected files. If the user has a recent backup of his files, he can restore the system to remove the virus, but any changes made to the files after the backup will be lost.
